Yes, the PC version looks amazing. It also costs between £500-£1000 to get the game looking it's best. Totally fair play if you want that, it's your money, but I'd rather use the money on other stuff personally.
I'm more than comfortable with how the console version looks, and you failed to mention how the core gameplay is IDENTICAL on all formats. So, yeah, I am right that the only advantage you have is in terms of graphics. Big deal. Oh, and more players? Personally I could do without the extra players, MP games aren't as good with that number of players speaking from experience.
And yes, COD got hacked, but BC2 on consoles didn't. BC2 on PC did. It'll happen again on PC for BF3 too. Again, absolutely no problem, BF3 on PC is the best version to have if you have the right tech to run it, so fair play to all who will have it. Just don't keep bleating on at people who play console versions of how it's somehow 'bringing down' gaming as a whole. Because that's bollocks.
Sigh, that's the end of the discussion, a million arguments won't stop you from telling us all how wonderful PC gaming is, over and over and over and over and over and over and.............
Have you not see the caspian border map and how huge that is? it would be pretty crap having just 24 players max in the large map on the console. the batle itself would feel empty imo.
Also i dont keep bleating on console gamers. That is not my intentions. Yes not everyone can afford a pc or want to play on pc, all i have said during this thread is that how the best version to play BF3 is the pc.
Many console people here slag off pc gamers more then the other way round. Saying how every single game on pc can be hacked(as if u your forced to play on hacked servers) and how you got to spend £500-£1000 every month to keep up with tech etc So its swings and roundabouts.
i build my pc nearly 3 years, yea thats righ 3 years ago and have hardly touched and upgraded parts for it yet it can play this beta on highest settings. that cost me £1000 admitetdly but that was 3 years ago.
One thing consoles have helped for pc users is that because 9/10 games are console ports, 3 year old pc's like mine can still play the latest games.
The downside of console ports IMO is that some games are dumbed down. i.e easier to play and complete(regen health, unlimited ammo, glowing shit in the game that tells u where to go and what to find and pick up in games), shortter SP campaigns etc etc. This is because the main target audience is console fans.
Look at FIFA and PES. plenty and i mean plenty of people bitching about easy ping pong passing, legacy mode defending and so on. Many here want a proper hardcore footy sim yet there is none. why? because console fans (usuually young pick up and play users) want easy pick up and play footy games.
To think that consoles are not dumbing down certain games is delusional IMO. I bet you are one of those who wished FIFA/PES diddnt have any assisted bullshit settings in it at all and make it purely semi/manual control of passing and shooting but because the target audience is not us but pick up and play guys, you will never see a proper hardcore footy game.
Fact is, some games are getting shorter SP campaigns and more easy controls/gameplay mechanics that make it easier for the average console gamer to just pick up a pad and start shooting people or banging in goals left right and centre without learning HOW to master shooting well and/or learning how to shoot accurately(Arma 2 type games).
